Vindictus: Defying Fate - July Dev Log

Farflame spotted the July dev log for Vindictus: Defying Fate:

July Dev Log

Hello Mercenaries,  

In the previous Dev Log, we introduced you to Colhen and Kalbram merc.

Today, let's explore the 'Northern Ruins,' the first battle area you'll venture into, and the 'Gnoll' tribe of Fomors you'll encounter there.

1. Introduction to the Northern Ruins

A border region next to Colhen. Here, ruins worn down by time are scattered and mingled with nature.

Humans refer to this place, whose original purpose has long been forgotten, as the 'Northern Ruins' in the land of the northern Fomors.

The Northern Ruins are near the front line that separates human and Fomor territories. 

It was once human land, but due to the strength of the Unified Fomor Forces, the front line was pushed back, and absorbed as Fomor territory.

Despite being occupied by the Fomor forces, the Northern Ruins remained abandoned.

Due to its proximity to each other's territories, neither side was willing to advance recklessly, resulting in its status as a neutral zone by mutual, unspoken agreement.

2. The Current State of the Northern Ruins and the Gnoll Tribe 

As the war between humans and Fomors dragged on, the Royal Knights and the Fomor Force held back their attacks, focusing on reorganizing their battle lines.

However, a recent report to the Royal Knights has reignited previously subdued tension.

The 'Gnoll' tribe, which is part of the Fomor Force, has been spotted in the Northern Ruins.

The Gnoll tribe, with whom you fought fierce battles during the Pre-Alpha test last March, usually roams around the Fomor territories in search of prey.

According to a recent report from the Kalbram Mercenaries, the Gnolls in the Northern Ruins seem to be setting up a base, like they're planning to settle there.
 
What could be the Gnolls' purpose?

Is this movement a signal from the Unified Fomor Forces to resume the war?

The Royal Knights are on high alert, closely watching the Northern Ruins.
 
As the tension of war looms more than ever, are you ready to face the upcoming battles?

We look forward to seeing how your efforts will shape the future.

See you soon in the next Dev Log.

Thank you.
